BILLBOARD PREDICTS TEMS TO MAKE HISTORY AS THE FIRST AFRICAN TO WIN TWO GRAMMYS IN ONE NIGHT

Jan 28, 2025 10:40 AM




According to Billboard, Nigerian R&B artist Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, is set to make history as the first African artist to win two Grammys in one night.


Tems is nominated in three categories at this year's Grammys: Best African Music Performance for "Love Me Jeje," Best Global Music Album for "Born In The Wild," and Best R&B Song for "Burning."


Billboard predicts that Tems will win two of the categories when the awards are presented at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 2nd. According to these predictions, Tems' "Love Me Jeje," a sample of Seyi Sodimu's 1997 song of the same title, will win the Best African Music Performance category, ahead of "Tomorrow" (Yemi Alade); "MMS" (Asake & Wizkid); "Sensational" (Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay); and "Higher" (Burna Boy).


However, Billboard has designated "Sensational" by American singer Chris Brown, featuring Davido and Lojay, as a "Look Out For." The publication also noted that Burna Boy's "Higher" is a strong contender in the category, given the artist's pedigree.


Last year, "Water" by South African artist Tyla won the inaugural Best African Music Performance award.


Tems is also predicted to win the Best Global Music Album category with her debut album, "Born In The Wild." The other nominees in this category are "Alkebulan II" (Matt B featuring Royal Philharmonic Orchestra); "Paisajes" (Ciro Hurtado); "Heis" (Rema); and "Historias De Un Flamenco" (Antonio Rey). Interestingly, Tems is the only previous Grammy winner in this category this year.


Billboard, however, noted that "Historias De Un Flamenco" by Antonio Rey is a strong contender in the category.


As the Grammys are known for their surprises, it remains uncertain whether these predictions will come to fruition.


South African comedian Trevor Noah will host Music's Biggest Night for the fifth consecutive time. Beyoncé leads the nominees at the 67th Grammys with a total of eleven nominations.
